Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a diesel engine adapted for operation in a homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion
- HCCI charge compression ignition
- Homogenous charge compression ignition is a combustion mode in which a homogenous air-fuel mixture starts reaction in an engine combustion chamber when the full auto-ignition temperature is eached within the mixture. The reaction is initiated throughout the entire mixture, i.e., multi-point ignition, and proceeds without a visible flame front.
- HCCI Homogenous charge compression ignition
- U.S. 5,875,743 proposes the use of two fuel injectors, and optionally a water injector, for respective fuel and water injection based on engine operating parameters indicative of engine speed and load.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,832,880 granted November 10, 1998, also to Daniel W. Dickey, for an APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HOMOGENOUS CHARGE COMPRESSION IGNITION COMBUSTION IN DIESEL ENGINES, and likewise assigned to the assignee of the present invention, also describes controlling HCCI combustion by water injection.
- the present invention is directed to overcoming the problems of controlling HCCI combustion with respect to TDC and extending HCCI combustion to high engine load conditions.
- a method for controlling homogenous charge compression ignition combustion in a diesel engine includes sensing pressure in the combustion chamber, sensing the angular position of the crankshaft with respect to a TDC position of a piston disposed in the combustion chamber, and calculating the values of a combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to the crankshaft angle at a first time and at a subsequent second time.
- the change in values of the combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to the crankshaft angle at the second time is compared with that of the first time, and a signal is delivered to a trigger circuit in response to the value of the combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to the crankshaft angle at the second time being less than the value of the combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to the crankshaft angle at the first time.
- Water is injected into the combustion chamber in response to the trigger circuit delivering a signal to a water injector.
- a method for controlling homogenous charge compression ignition combustion in a diesel engine includes sensing an operating characteristic representative of a first combustion stage. The injection of water into the combustion chamber subsequent to sensing the operating characteristic representative of the first combustion stage. Injecting water is carried out at a time, and for a length of time, sufficient to delay the start of a second combustion stage until a piston disposed in the combustion chamber is at a preselected position.
- a diesel engine adapted for at least partial operation in a homogenous charge compression ignition combustion mode has a means for sensing pressure in a combustion chamber of the engine, a means for sensing crankshaft angle, and a differentiator operatively connected to the means for sensing pressure in the combustion chamber and to the means for sensing crankshaft angle.
- a comparator is adapted to receive a signal from the differentiator, and a trigger circuit is adapted to receive a signal from the comparator.
- the diesel engine also includes an injector operatively connected to a source of water and adapted to inject water into the combustion chamber in response to receiving a signal from the trigger circuit.
- Fig. 1 is a graphical representation of the natural logarithm of the normalized apparent heat release rate (NAHRR) with respect to the reciprocal mass-average gas temperature for typical diesel fuel combustion in an HCCI mode;
- NAHRR normalized apparent heat release rate
- Fig. 2 is a graphical representation of the cylinder pressure derivative with respect to crankangle in a combustion chamber without fuel injection, with uncontrolled HCCI combustion and with HCCI combustion controlled in accordance with the present invention
- Fig. 3 is a flow diagram of the method for controlling HCCI combustion in accordance with the present invention
- Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an HCCI combustion controlled diesel engine in accordance with the present invention.
- HCCI homogenous charge compression ignition
- the discovery identified a first stage, indicated as Region a in Fig. 1, which has a small energy release representing about 5% of the total fuel energy, which is followed by a negative temperature coefficient, identified as Region b in Fig. 1.
- Region a in Fig. 1 The bulk fuel energy is released during a second, or main stage, of combustion, identified as Region c at high rates of heat release which account for approximately 95% of the total energy release.
- Patent Nos. 5,832,880 and 5,875,743 to control the start of the first stage of HCCI reaction, as indicated at Region A in Fig. 1.
- the present invention is directed to controlling the start of the second stage combustion, represented by Region C in Fig. 1 , which releases about 95% of the total fuel energy.
- the present invention is simultaneously directed at maintaining an acceptable heat release rate (HRR) at higher equivalence ratios. Since the start of the second stage is also temperature dependent, as noted in the above-referenced doctoral dissertation, it is desirable to move the start of combustion (SOC) of the second stage to a position at, or preferably just immediately prior to, the top dead center (TDC) position of a piston in the combustion chamber.
- SOC start of combustion
- TDC top dead center
- the cylinder pressure derivative with respect to crankangle (d p /d ⁇ ) is indicated by a solid line 10 and illustrates a representative premature start of second stage combustion in uncontrolled HCCI combustion at relatively high engine loads.
- the start of second (main) stage combustion may start as early as 40° BDTC, thereby producing combustion at an undesired piston position, i.e., before the piston reaches the TDC position.
- water is injected directly into the cylinder during a time, indicated by the area 12 in Fig. 2 and described below in greater detail, to delay the start of the second stage combustion, as represented by dashed line 14 until desirably, about 1 ° to 3° BDC.
- the short-dash line 16 represents the cylinder pressure derivative with respect to crankangle (d p /d ⁇ ) of a cylinder in which no fuel is injected and no combustion occurs, and is simply referred to as a motoring mode.
- the controlled shift of the SOC of main, or second, stage HCCI combustion to the right, to a position closer to the zero crankangle is achieved by direct in-cylinder water injection during the period 12.
- the direct in-cylinder water injection is carried out by a multi-hole nozzle which generates water plumes within the homogenous mixture in the cylinder. Water plume vaporization will result in lowering the fuel/air mixture temperature, both locally in the solid angle of the water plumes, as well as overall in the combustion chamber.
- the start of second-stage reaction will be controlled by the timing and amount of water injected during the period 12 immediately following the first stage reaction.
- the heat release rate at higher loads (equivalence ratios) will be controlled by the non-uniformity in the temperature field, i.e., with lower temperatures in the plume regions, as the colder water plume regions start reaction at a slightly later time.
- the reaction is no longer homogenous throughout the entire combustion chamber, local homogeneity is still maintained.
- low NO x and PM emissions are obtained, even at higher loads, while the fuel efficiency of the engine is preserved by controlling the start of the second stage of HCCI combustion.
- a method 18 for controlling the start of combustion of the second stage is outlined by flow diagrams in Fig. 3, for a diesel engine 20 adapted for at least partial HCCI combustion mode operation as illustrated in Fig. 4.
- the diesel engine 20, embodying the present invention has at least one, and typically a plurality, of combustion chambers 22 with a piston 24 reciprocatively disposed in each of the combustion chambers 22 and operatively connected to a crankshaft, not shown.
- the engine 20, in order to be controlled by the method 18 embodying the present invention, has a means 26 for sensing pressure in the combustion chamber 22 and a means 28 for sensing crankshaft angle.
- the means 26 for sensing pressure in the combustion chamber 22 may comprise a Kistler model 7061, water cooled, piezoelectric pressure transducer, as described on pages 66-81 of the above-referenced doctoral thesis.
- crankshaft angle includes conventional crankshaft angle sensors which either optically or magnetically detect one or more pre-identified indicants of crankshaft position.
- the engine 20 further includes a first comparator 36 adapted to receive a signal 31 representative of the crankshaft position from the crankangle position sensor 28, and a differentiator 30 operatively connected to the means 26 for sensing pressure in the combustion chamber 22 and to the comparator 36.
- the differentiator 30 includes electronic circuitry capable of receiving a signal 32 from each of the combustion chamber pressure sensing means 26 that is representative of the pressure (p) present in the respective combustion chamber.
- a signal 34 from the first comparator 36 is delivered to the differentiator 30 when the crankshaft position angle ( ⁇ ) is within a preselected position range, e.g., less than 60° BTDC.
- the differentiator 30 circuitry calculates the combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to the crankshaft angle (d p /d a ) when the crankshaft position angle ( ⁇ ) has a value within the preselected range before top dead center (BTDC) position of the piston 24j e.g., 60° BTDC.
- the engine 20 further includes a second comparator 40 which receives signals 38 from the differentiator 30, representative of the calculated combustion chamber pressure derivatives with respect to the crankshaft angle (dp/d ⁇ ).
- the second comparator 40 compares each of the calculated combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to the crankshaft angle values (d p /d ⁇ ) at a first time (t), represented by the mathematical expression (d p /d ⁇ ) t , with each of. the calculated combustion chamber pressure derivatives with respect to the crankangle values at a subsequent second time (t+1), represented by the mathematical expression (dp/d ⁇ )t+ ⁇ -
- the engine 20 further includes a trigger circuit 42 which receives a signal 41 from the second comparator 40 in response to the calculated combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to crankshaft angle at the second time being less than the calculated combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to crankshaft angle at the first time, i.e.; (d p /d ⁇ ) t+ ⁇ ⁇ (d p /d ⁇ ) t .
- the trigger circuit 42 includes both a delay circuit to delay the start of water injection, depending upon engine speed and load, to a desired period of time within the area 12 indicated on Fig.
- the trigger circuit 42 transmits a control signal 43 which controls the initiation and duration of water injection until a time, and for a duration of time, sufficient to delay HCCI second stage reaction until the piston 24 is in a range of from about 3° BTDC to about 0-5° BTDC.
- a multi-orificed water injector 56 is in communication with each of the combustion chambers 22. The operation of the water injectors 56 is respectively controlled by the control signal 43 transmitted by the trigger circuit 42.
- a high pressure water injection pump 33 has a line 35 to a water pressure regulator 27. The water pressure regulator 27 is in direct fluid communication with each of the injectors 56.
- crankshaft position angle ⁇ is sensed, as represented by block 44 and described above, along with the combustion chamber pressure (p), as represented by block 46. If the crankshaft position angle ( ⁇ ) is less than a preselected value, e.g., 60° BTDC, the signal 34 is delivered to the differentiator 30.
- the signal 32 representing the sensed combustion chamber pressure, is also delivered to the differentiator 30 whereat the combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to crankshaft angle (dp/d ⁇ ), is differentiated as represented at block 48.
- the signal 38 is also delivered to the differentiator 30 whereat the combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to crankshaft angle (dp/d ⁇ ), is differentiated as represented at block 48.
- the comparator 40 is then delivered to the comparator 40 whereat the differentiated values at a first time t and at a subsequent time t+1 are compared, as represented at block 50.
- the differentiated value at the second time is less than the value at the first time, i.e., (d p /d ⁇ ) +1 ⁇ (d p /d ⁇ ) t
- the signal 41 is delivered to the trigger 42 which holds the initiation of water injection for a period of time determined by the delay circuit as represented at block 52.
- the duration of water injection is also determined, as represented at block 54, to delay the start of combustion of the HCCI second stage reaction, as described above.
- the signal 43 is then delivered to the injectors 56, as illustrated in Fig. 4 and represented by block 58 in Fig. 3.
- the method 18, represented by Fig. 3, is continuously repeated so that the injection timing and duration is controlled, preferably during each 720° rotation of the crankshaft.
- the method 18 embodying the present invention injects water into the combustion chamber subsequent to sensing an operating characteristic representative of the first combustion stage.
- the combustion chamber pressure derivative with respect to crankshaft angle (d p /d ⁇ ) is used in the illustrative embodiment, other characteristics of the first stage reaction such as a first anomaly in the sensed pressure derivative with respect to an unfueled motoring pressure derivative, could also be used as the event to control start of the second stage reaction.
- the above described method 18 can be advantageously used to control the start of the second (main) stage of HCCI combustion and, consequently, control the heat release rate (HRR) during the second stage of HCCI combustion.
- the method 18 is therefore particularly useful in extending HCCI combustion to high engine load operating ranges.
